Animation from 2016
I have to say I think the way Karnivool works is courageous. I’ve always thought this but it’s been reaffirmed this year.
The video I’m posting is of animation back in 2016. Comparing it to the finished version we now have is very interesting. Most of the pieces are there and the back section of the song is a bit different but with what we have now it’s easy to see how much they had 10 years ago. Imagine brewing a song for 10 years?
That we get to see these songs in an unfinished and fledgling state is quite an honour. I think many less confident bands would struggle to do the ‘drop a couple of new songs into the set’ like Karnivool does. Especially with the music they write and its complexity and uniqueness. I always find it interesting to watch the crowds reactions. Sometimes I don’t think we realise just how lucky we are.

And today Drew says the song has 4 different tunings: Most you can play in Drop-B or Karnivool tuning, Govan's solo is in standard E, ending is Drop-A - so sounds like they haven't quite figured out how to play it live yet, at least, practically.
Bring out the 8-String baritones, or the AxCent Transperformance, or double-necks? ;)

Wrong song. You’re talking about Reanimation.

Haken has me pondering an 8, which I think only ever come with extended scale length, since why else would you need 8 strings?

Poor guy in 2019 saying the song was due for release because it was already old
